Open Contest Miss BYC Beauty Pageant—Official 2025 BYC Mini-Contest

This is Cadle. She hatched on 3 April, so she's about 7 months old. She is a backyard mutt, with a salmon breast, and green shanks, and she lays a plaster-pink egg, in a flower pot. She roosts out high in a conifer, whatever the weather, but she's not a wild child, she's actually quite friendly. (The other pullet in the picture hatched with her but is a slower developer; also roosts out, in the same tree.)

This is Aberglasny. She is a backyard mutt. Her plumage reminds me of a dark grey pinstripe suit. She hatched 25 June 2024 and this photo was taken on her 1st birthday.

And this is Xmoor (entry 3). She is another backyard mutt, looks very like Cadle but has slate shanks, a bigger floppy-at-the-back comb, lays a tinted egg, and she is a year older.

Hi Aberglasny!

I think it's from a couple of her grandparents - partridge penedesenca on the dam side and isabella leghorn on the sire side, but I don't pretend to understand chicken genetics; they're beyond me

My chickens seem to make good choices about who to mate with; better than I would make for them at any rate
